Skills of a Teenage Goddess: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
The first person who ever tried these muffins was a kid named Colin. He liked them. You will too.
So behold, Mercer's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins.
Wet Ingredients:
1 can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
3 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup water
Dry Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 of a teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips.
Combine wet and dry ingredients separately and then together. Then add chocolate chips. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Makes 2-3 dozen muffins depending upon how full you fill your muffin tin.
Remember to account for the fact that you will eat half a dozen yourself when deciding how many batches to make.
I once used these muffins to bribe people into voting me into middle school student council.

Fucking Summer
Till you realize that all your friend are gone Your mom (unknown to you) has a 3 mile long chore list she's had since Christmas, and your entire family is coming down to judge you on your style and life choices. My favorite.
So me, with all my extra time, has compiled a list of 10 things for you to do to fill time
1. Make a batch of cookie dough and eat it while watching tinker bell (I did this yesterday. It seriously helps).
2. Make a collage that represents you or friends.
3. Take photos of thing around you, cut them up and paste them on your walls in artsy ways.
4. Branching off of the previous one, rearrange your room or glam it up with cool DIY things or just random cool magazine cutouts.
5. Read a motherfucking book.
6. Go on this blog (hehe).
7. I recently subscribed to Ted Radio Hour (on the podcast app on any Apple phone). It is so interesting and brain pleasing. Do it.
8. Find a tree. Climb it.
9. Go on a website called Bored button. It's weird.
10. And finally call your friends and talk to them. And if they don't pick up, leave them an aggressive voicemail and then go back to top of list.
Now, I hope this list works for you. And if you have so much time that you've already gone through it twice, I will be posting more bored lists throughout summer. So long.

Marina Diamandis, known by her stage name Marina and The Diamonds, has written and recorded some of the best (in my opinion) indie-pop singles. Primadonna, E.V.O.L., Power and Control, How To Be A Heartbreaker. These songs are all an ode to her genius. She is also so fucking gorgeous! Like, have you seen her face! If you haven't, just in case, here are some photos I found on the web (I'm soo hip):
Like I said, her music is genius, so here are some of my favorites from the great and powerful YouTube:
Her songs often mock her own or common teen insecurities, making the insecurities less of a deal, owning her fears. Personally, I find her songs either funny, empowering, relate able, or #goals. Honestly, if one of the songs above is not your jam, listen to her other songs until you find your Marina power ballad. Now GO!
